Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

Novelty

Wikipedia define that the quality of being new, although it may be said to have an objective dimension (such as abstract art or impression) it essentially exist in the subjective perception of individual.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty

In my opinion, novelty means something new or unusual and it is important for everybody in the world. The study of creativity that is based on the presumption of novelty aims to explain how original works are produced by using the old material and to reveal the universal laws of its generation.

Creativity

It refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art etc.) that has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity

In my words, as I stated in my previous post, creativity is refer to many things such as creative work, creative design, creative drawing and etc. Creative is something that been created by someone, his/her idea that make it looks unique and creative. As an example, someone create a design/logo/typography, using his/her idea, and make it looks nice, that is what make him/her creative.

Innovation

A new discipline of innovation born from the understanding and application of methods from several different areas, such as, design, business and social sciences. In my opinion, changing the existing ideas or knowledge for the purpose of improvement is the meaning of Innovation. Knowledge and attitudes that have direct impact on building innovation competencies are some of the conditions.

Invention

It means "the act of finding out or inventing; contrivance or construction of that which has not before existed; as the invention of logarithms, the invention of the art of printing.

http://ardictionary.com/Invention/6704

I think invention can be defined as creating new ideas using little knowledge which only created or invent by the inventor. There are still some different between invention and innovation. As conclusion, innovation is the extension of invention or the process of improvement where begin.

At the beginning of the class, the lecturer was talking about "Listening Power". He said that human only can focus in the class just for 10 minutes. I am not too surprised with the statement, because I think it is true, I am also lost during lecture time. He is also said the 10 minutes that human can focus, only 25% from the lecture that human can get and other 75% is lost. But I think we can change it, human can't show they are weak, it is them that are controlling their own body and brain, so 25% that expected from the research, can be increased more, I believe that human can do it.

Don't be like this!

This is from the lecture slides, it is about "Ambiguity of Creativity" :-

• is seeing the same thing, but thinking of something different
• creative simply cannot be defined
• called creative if it make sense and adaptable by the community
• something original that has value

After the lecturer finished his slide, he shows us some videos. The videos are about the baby incubator and the newspaper designer. The videos are quite interesting. I was attracted with the baby incubator video because in this video, the people are creating sleeping bag for baby and it functions as the incubator. This is to help the baby that die because cannot get warm air after been delivered. I am not so sure how it functions, but that is what I understand.

These are some quotes that I interested from the lecturer's slides and videos :-

"The best way to predict your future

is to create it."

"Your job in this world

is solve problem."

"If not now, then when?

If not me, then who?"

Thank you ! :D

From this class.

For this week class, the lecturer, Mr. Yap Sau Bin, give an interesting lecture about defining creativity. From his lecture, I have jot down some notes for my future references and for this blog contents. So, these are my notes that I have taken from the class and I gladly to share it :

Defining Creativity :

• general of new ideas or new ways of doing something
• ability to think up and design new inventions
• ability to see something in a new way
• is an attitude :- ability to accept change and newness

Maybe I did not get all the definition of creativity, but the four definition that I manage to jot down from the class are already enough for me to understand about the term creativity. Hopefully I can practic the ways as mention at the definition above for me to be more creative.

As the part of the lecture, I have jot down some notes that I am not pretty sure whether I understand about it or not but I will try my best to understand it by searching it on Google.

The lecture is about...

"Why people are motivated to be creative :-

• need for novel, varied and complex stimulation
• need to communicate ideas and values
• need to solve problems "

I was attracted with one quote from the video that my lecturer show it to the class. The quote is sound like this...

"if you not prepare to be wrong,

you can't be creative"

From the quote, I feel that is not bad to be wrong. Wrong is a mistake that we make. For me, mistake is the best teacher in life. So, make mistake, be wrong, if you want to be creative.

Thank you! :D

What is Creative?

As define by the wikipedia...

"Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art etc.) that has some kind of value. What count as 'new' may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as 'valuable' is similarly defined in a variety ways."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity

For me as a FCM Student, creative is refer to many things such as creative work, creative design, creative art, creative drawing and etc. Creative is something that been created by someone, his/her idea that make it looks unique or creative. Such as the logo design that I put at the top of this post. Try to look at it. It is just a simple design, black and white design. But the creator is creative, he/she arranges the typo make it looks nice and unique, plus, the background design of the typo make the design looks very creative although the design is just a simple black and white design.

Thank you! :D
